Summer Starter Pack 2021: Everything You Need for Your Summer Aesthetic

As much as we love to get out tan on, it can’t hurt to block out the UV rays and protect our precious faces. What we have here is the Classic Nike Baseball Cap that is both trendsetting and protecting. This cap has gained popularity due to its generic look and variety of colors available to purchase.

Whether you are blocking out the sun or the haters, these sunglasses are conducive to most wardrobes. If you're not rocking the Ray-Ban Club Master Classics, then maybe the Aviator Ray-Bans that hit the shelves in the 80s and have been selling in masses ever since are more your speed.

If you are in search of a classic white or black t-shirt suitable for the summer heat, Calvin Klein is the brand for you. The Cotton Classic Big + Tall 3 Pack T-Shirt is 100% cotton and is sold in a pack, making the price and brand worthwhile. The T-shirt comes in different styles as well if you are looking for a specific look.

The second summertime hits, it is essential to own a pair or two of great swim trunks. These Psycho Bunny swim trunks run a tad bit on the pricey side due to the streetwear niche, prime quality, and name brand. Although they are not as cost-conscious, we have found that the mesh lining and pattern options call for them to be at the top of our list in the bathing suit department. But if you're looking for something a bit more modest price-wise, Uniqlo has some great minimalist offerings.

Sandals, slides, waterproof boat shoes, you name it. Any and all of these are more than substantial for most of your summer activities. To stay with the trends, we are going with the slide look. These are one of the most popular slides of today, the Adidas Adilette Slides. They are comfortable, affordable, and designed as the ideal poolside slide. 

As all these items accumulate, there is nothing more necessary than having the proper backpack to store your essentials. The Mier Roll-Top Closure Dry Bag Waterproof Backpack Sack is a worthwhile investment to make as it keeps all your goodies safe and organized in one place. This bag is well-equipped for all outdoor activities that you might indulge in this summer.  

No matter the destination, there is one item that can make or break all of your experiences combined. A portable speaker will take your activity to the absolute next level. Being able to blast some great tunes in the back is a game-changing token. The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 is an excellent option due to its durability, waterproof capabilities, and 13 hours of sound. 

As the high temperatures of the season strike, your body tends to be more dehydrated, especially when you are hyperactive. That said, it is beneficial to drink at least half a gallon of water a day. While you could drink out of a plastic water bottle, there are its downfalls. On top of the environmental footprint, water bottles don't stay cold if not refrigerated. A solution to the problem is purchasing a Yeti Cup—a double-wall vacuum insulated cup that keeps your water ice-cold for extended periods. Or if you're feeling a little cheeky, feel free to fill it with your non-water beverage of choice.
